Volkswagen Passat
The Passat receives a substantial overhaul for the 2020 model year, with a fresh new design and additional on-board technology. The turbocharged, 2.0-litre four-cylinder producing 174 horsepower now equips all trim levels. An infotainment system with eight-inch touchscreen is standard, as is blind-spot monitoring, autonomous emergency braking and LED headlights. The Passat stands out in its category for its road manners, roomy cabin and spacious trunk.
